<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Teddy,</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The fwrite command produces binary,
not text output. To produce ascii text output of what you're currently
displaying, use 'set gxout print'. You control the output with 'set
prnopts....' Display your data, then write to file using the write
command. Here's a simple example (assuming file is open and appropriately
dimensioned):</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">'set gxout print'</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">'set prnopts %0.1f 10 1'</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">'d air-273.16'</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">dummy=write('c:/temp/output.txt',result)</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Your output might look something like
this:</font><br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Printing Grid -- 77 Values -- Undef
= 32766</font><br><font size=2 face="Courier New">11.1 10.7 8.4 9.0 12.9 15.4 16.3 17.1
17.5 17.5 </font><br><font size=2 face="Courier New">17.6 8.3 8.6 7.0 6.3 8.2 10.3 11.7
12.4 13.0 </font><br><font size=2 face="Courier New">13.8 13.9 7.0 7.8 6.8 4.2 3.1 4.7 7.0

-4.7</font><br><br><font size=2 face="Courier New">You could also output one grid value
at a time without using 'set gxout print' and 'set prnopts.' </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The
opengrads cookbook listing you referenced goes </font><font size=2 face="Courier New">into
more detail on the above and alternate methods.

of .txt files from GrADS output generated from NetCDF files. Unfortunately,
I am having a bit of trouble trying to accomplish this. One method says
to:</font><br><font size=3> </font><br><font size=3>'set gxout fwrite'</font><br><font size=3>'set fwrite file.txt'</font><br><font size=3>'d [variable]'</font><br><font size=3>'disable fwrite'</font><br><font size=3> </font><br><font size=3>While another points to a script from the cookbook: </font><a href="http://cookbooks.opengrads.org/index.php?title=Recipe-002:_Saving_GrADS_variable_data_to_a_text_file"><font size=3 color=blue><u>http://cookbooks.opengrads.org/index.php?title=Recipe-002:_Saving_GrADS_variable_data_to_a_text_file</u></font></a><br><font size=3> </font><br><font size=3> </font><br><font size=3>I also try :</font><br><font size=3>set gxout fwrite</font><br><font size=3>d [variable]</font><br><font size=3>disable fwrite</font><br><font size=3> </font><br><font size=3>GrADS then sends an output to my hard-drive, but
it is not in an ascii .txt format.</font><br><font size=3>Does anybody have a simple method to produce text output
files from GrADS? I am not having any success in the above options. I am
using GrADS 2.0 on a windows XP system. </font><br><font size=3> </font><br><font size=3>Thank you very much.</font><br><font size=3>Sincerely,</font><br><font size=3>teddy </font><br><br><br><font size=3> </font><br><font size=3><b>web: </b></font><a href=http://personal.ecu.edu/tla0923/HOME.html><font size=3 color=blue><b><u>http://personal.ecu.edu/tla0923/HOME.html</u></b></font></a><br><font size=3><b>"To move quickly, go alone.
